Two men stabbed Wednesday in Crescent City

Two Crescent City men ended up with stab wounds after apparently getting into an altercation Wednesday night, according to the Del Norte County Sheriff's Department.

Del Norte Sheriff's Cmdr. Bill Steven said the two men knew each other, and each described the other as the aggressor. He said it's unclear at this point exactly how the two men received their wounds.

Steven said dispatch received a call that Michael Clary, 25, was attacked near Cooper Avenue and Meridian Street. While officials were on their way, Steven said dispatch received a call from Sutter Coast Hospital about another stab wound victim -- Harry "Duffy" Richcreek, 39.

Both men ended up at Sutter Coast Hospital with long and deep stab wounds to their arms, Steven said. He said interviews with the men found that they knew each other and had some sort of altercation.
